The Obsidian Golem is an enormous creature made of obsidian and iron, carved by master craftsmen into the form of a Keldian and animated by a bound Demon soul. It is hideously strong, but terribly slow, better suited for battering down a wall than chasing foes. Although theoretically capable of useful tasks the spirit within tends to pervert anything other than destruction. Add the Circle of the sacrificed demon to the Attack, Defence and Armour of the Golem.

Parry 1, Long, Sacred, Mighty 2, Can attack twice a turn
Huge Obsidian centaurs, the Obsidian Guardians are the sentinels of Ancient ruins deep in the Nightlands. Obsidian Guardians are resistant to both physical attack and magic, but their mighty bodies are brittle — they take double damage from a critical hit. They wield enormous two-handed swords (D8+3), which require a minimum Physical of 15 to use. Artificial and tireless constructs, they have enough intelligence to perform their duties, but are otherwise single-minded and unshakeable. They do not suffer from fear and cannot be mind-controlled.
Ort Tree
keywordsIcelands, Plant

Beyond the Ice Hills, where a variety of thick-trunked coniferous trees are to be found, the Nightlands becomes a howling wilderness of snow, jagged rock faces, glittering obsidian, and endless ice. Almost nothing lives or grows here other than Iron Raven, Night Raven, Starflower and Otik. One exception is the Ort Tree, a strange jagged candelabra of hard black rock and glassy needles that somehow appears to be alive. Within its sheath of stone the Ort Tree has dense fibrous wood, and they have, over time, been observed to grow.

Ort Trees grow in clumps of 10-20 individuals, the sharp branches and needles intertwining like fractals. Mature trees rise over 30 legats into the sky, and are frequently surrounded by a corona of witch-fire, or flickers of aurora. Ort Tree twigs (Treasure 4) can be used to make foci for Black Order Magi, but the trees are almost impossible to climb (Difficulty 20) and can unexpectedly strike people touching them with fizzing snaps of energy (D8 damage).

Otik are small fur covered creatures that live in amongst the snow and ice forests of the Nightlands. They burrow under the snow in search of Starflower shoots, or Ort Tree. Their pelts are pure white and as fine as the finest Zunian fur. A stack of Otik pelts is a Treasure 3, and much in demand in the Twilight Cities. Otik trappers are amongst the small number of hardy individuals who will brave the darkness of the Nightlands. Hunting Difficulty 18.
